At GiftCardGolf.com (" GiftCardGolf.com ,"
" we ," or " us "), we are committed
to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy ("
Privacy Policy ") describes how personal information
is collected from users of our website at www.GiftCardGolf.com
(the " Site "), and how that information is used
and disclosed. In general, we use the information we collect
from you to personalize your shopping experience. Rest assured
that we do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information
to third parties without your consent, other than in the
limited circumstances described in this Privacy Policy or
as otherwise permitted by law. Full details of our Privacy
Policy are included here for your reference.
Collection of Personal Information
Personal information is information that specifically identifies
an individual, such as an individual's name, address, telephone
number, e-mail address, credit card or other account number,
and information about that individual's activities when
directly linked to him or her, such as information about
his or her purchases. Personal information also includes
demographic information, such as date of birth, gender,
geographic area and preferences when such information is
linked to other personal information that identifies an
individual. Personal information does not include "aggregate"
information. Aggregate information is data collected about
a group or category of products, services or customers from
which individual customer identities have been removed.
Personal information such as name, e-mail address, mailing
address, credit card number, and expiration date is collected
to process your order.
Other personal information is collected if you voluntarily
enter it in areas of My Account, such as Address Book, which
is used to make your shopping experience easier.
Use of Personal Information
In general, we use personal information you provide to
enhance your experience with GiftCardGolf.com and to provide
you with high quality products and services. For example,
we use it to process and track your purchases and other
transactions via the Site, maintain a record of our dealings
with you, respond to your inquiries, update you on our products
and services (and develop new products and services), remind
you of important occasions for those you care about, conduct
surveys, contests and sweepstakes via the Site, and to personalize
our Site for you. We will also use your e-mail address occasionally
notify you of special offers from our merchant partners.
We may also receive information from third parties with
whom we have business relationships and may combine this
information with the other personal information we maintain
about you . If we do so, this Privacy Policy governs such
information.
Disclosure of Personal Information
GiftCardGolf.com does not sell, trade, or rent your personal
information (this includes any information you choose to
store in the My Account section of our Site, including your
Address Book) to third parties without your prior consent,
except in the limited circumstances set forth in this Privacy
Policy or as may be permitted by law.
When you place an order for a gift certificate from one
of our merchant partners, we provide that specific partner
with your name and address along with that of the recipient.
We do not provide your e-mail address or that of the recipient.
We occasionally provide aggregate information regarding
the use of our Site to partners, but these statistics never
include personally identifying information.
We also disclose personal information when we believe it
is appropriate to comply with the law (e.g., a lawful subpoena,
warrant or court order); to enforce or apply this Privacy
Policy or our other policies or agreements; to initiate,
render, bill, and collect for amounts owed to us; to protect
our or our customers' rights, property or safety; to protect
our customers from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use
of, our Site; or if we reasonably believe that an emergency
involving immediate danger of death or serious physical
injury to any person requires disclosure of communications
or justifies disclosure of records without delay or as otherwise
permitted by law.
In addition, information about our customers, including
personally identifiable information, may be disclosed as
part of any merger, acquisition, debt financing or sale
of all or part of company assets, as well as in the event
of an insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership in which personally
identifiable information could be transferred to third parties
as one of our business assets.
